There is a thread which deals with this exact problem. Search for it.
I think the title is need some serious help... or something like that.

Rezigrene, can you say exactly what goes wrong when you try to install it?

The only suggestion I could make is updating the firmware on your tablet, it solved the problems I had with getting Skype on my N810.

If you need help with that try this tutorial:

It simply says ''Failed to install Skype.'' It downloads it and goes to install, then stops. I'm using the latest firmware, at least I think.

Anyone at all?

Re: Downloading Skype failed?
 

I just installed Skype on my N800 tablet (after reflash of OS...) from repository without problems couple hours ago. I did not have any problems.

Make sure you do have Maemo Extras repository enabled.

The exact error is

Unable to install.
Software contains updates to packages installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system.

Contact the software author.

I have no idea what to do, I have all the repos from gronmayer installed and enabled.

i had this problem - go to skype.com and download the link from them under "n800/n810"

Re: Downloading Skype failed?
 

I'm still getting, "Unable to Install. Software contains updates installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system. Contact software author."

That's with the instructions on the Skype page.

Re: Downloading Skype failed?
 

I did manage to get it installed.

I logged into the tablet with ssh (OpenSSH) (as root) and used apt-get install skype to do the install.

I had to accept the license agreement to install on the n810's screen -- which confused me because it was blanked at the time, and I didn't know it was setting there waiting for a confirmation for 5+ minutes.

Anyway, it is installable. You just have to 'cheat' a little to get it to go. I should be smoother than that. Most users won't keep trying -- much less use the terminal and know the apt-get command line interface.

Re: Downloading Skype failed?
 

What is the exact command? Because I don't want to mess up my $810

Will it work for x term by using sudo gainroot ?

Bump.


I know it's been nearly 4 months now.
